"... the best sounding version of this album I've yet heard. first rate packaging, Kevin Gray's impeccable mastering, and RTI's plating and pressing. Reissues do not get any better than this."(November 3, 2015)
– Michael Fremer
"The remastering and repressing (courtesy of the dream team of Kevin Gray and RTI, respectively) are a revelation, and this version buries my original ...The increase in resolution, transparency, separation, depth, dynamic range and bandwidth is frankly remarkable."(October 24, 2015)

Stealers Wheel’s self-titled debut is sourced from the best source that is currently available, a beautifully preserved ½” 30ips “safety copy” of the original stereo master. When mastering this LP we compared what we were getting off the tape to the exceptional original A&M UK “Porky/Pecko” cut on LP. In our mastering we decided to preserve the full (and we do mean full!) bass expression that is on the tape, and that no additional push was needed in the midrange and treble to emphasize detail. The result is a remarkably lively recording with driving bass, wonderfully expressive guitars and living, breathing vocal harmonies from Rafferty and Egan like you’ve never heard them before!
